TV for Pitt Game...

[ATL MU Warrior]

Does CBS make games available online? 

[MU Fan in Connecticut]

Only Seattle-Tacoma out West is blue?

[ChicosBailBonds]

Yes, game on channel 729 is in Sports Pack.  This is the last week of the year that is the case for those overflow games on CBS national.

Thanks Chicos, saved me a call to direct tv and the fun process of pressing buttons to get to a human being.

So, Piit-MU is going to 41% of the country.

If ever you don't feel like "pushing buttons," just a quick jaunt to Inverness and you could go knock on the door instead.

You should get a human being very quickly.  An American one, too.

Yup, that's one of 25 call centers...right off the freeway there.  Of course they do other things there, too, but there are a few 100 agents there...one of the smaller call centers.

Is one allowed to say that today?

You can so long as your preference is for a minority... that's why it is perfectly acceptable to ask to speak to an American if you're in California.

Thanks for doing the legwork I was too lazy to do

Thanks Chicos. I think I can find an establishment here in Charlotte that will have this.

Game day should have a nice piece on our game today featuring 2 top 20 teams.   Or I will be disappointed.

Does anyone know what sportsbars in New Orleans have Directv sportspack?

[Sunbelt15]

I just hope we perform highly on national tv this time.

[ChicosBailBonds]

Does anyone know what sportsbars in New Orleans have Directv sportspack?

There's an app called directv sports bar finder....free to download.  Mostly for NFL Sunday Ticket but I think it has other sports packages as well

[theodoc]

I live in the South and all I see is KY-TN. Any hope for DISH users outside the region?

[Stretchdeltsig]

Thanks Chicos.  There are a ton of sports bars with Directv in the Quarter.  Now the trick is to find the best one that has the sportspackage showing the Marquette game.

I have to say that is absolutely not true.  We used to have Direct TV and never will again.  Customer service is dreadful (it is for all cable companies, but DTV takes it to a new level).  After hours on the phone getting bounced from person to person to person we had everything all set up.  The last guy then informs me that the "plan" they offered me I was ineligible for and that I would have to pay an extra $40 a month.

After informing him that was unacceptable, he tried to convince me that I already agreed to the terms and it was not his fault that the deal they offered was invalid.  I told him where he could shove it.

Two hours later (now no longer a DTV customer) I got a call back from them asking me if I wanted to subscribe to DTV, the deal they offer is the same one I spent hours on the phone with to find out that I was not eligible.

I said you would get a human being quickly, and an American one.  On average, wait times are very short.  I stand by that and it's backed up by industry statistics, awards, etc.  Yes, television support is not fantastic, we are the best in the industry but admit that isn't saying much in that area.  So to say we are worse than the industry, well that would conflict with JD Power, University of Michigan, NPS, etc awards given out yearly.  Sorry you had a bad experience.  But will you get an American if you call?  Yes.  Will you get a human being very quickly?  Yes.  That's what I said and in comparison to the industry, that is correct.  Many others, you will not get an American, you won't get 24/7 support, and you wait (on average) longer.  That's not me talking, that's industry statistics.

When I was there two weeks ago in the Quarter, we watched the IU game and a few others at various bars.  Wish I could remember which one had Sports Pack.  Lafitte's maybe?  Copper Monkey (ask for Lauren from Ireland..great gal)?  I think we stopped in at the Monteleone Hotel at their bar (if I recall, that's where MU stayed in 2003 for the Final Four), they may have had it as well.  Honestly can't remember.  Huck Finn's might have it also.
